This "song" is primarily a vehicle to showcase Neil Peart's talents.
It is difficult to discern when the song's "structure" starts or when
the drum solo ends.  Thus, it is difficult to determine how many
"measures" pass prior to the guitar, bass and vocals entering into
the song so...I'm leaving that information out!  The listener will
need to refer to the studio recording to determine when to enter
into the song.

                    Note:  Reverse delay or reverb is used which results
                    in a volume swell effect on the first chord of each
                    "progression" (indicated with a "<" symbol).  This
                    can be reproduced using a volume pedal.  Emphasis is
                    on the lower strings of each chord.
